A great many people had houses that size, so you're right - they're not new. I don't suppose this one was quite as efficient as those they make today, but I'll bet it was home to a number of people.
My Aunt Helen & Uncle Gene in South Carolina had an even stranger set up. 2 small houses. One was a couple of bedrooms with a bath and the other was a kitchen, sitting area and another bathroom. He was retired from the RR and raised hogs, she retired from being a nurse at the nut house in the city.
It doesn't look that small in the closeup, maybe I'm picturing the front porch too big?
ReplyDeleteConsider that my home for the last 13 years is a 149 square foot travel trailer.
ReplyDeleteWhoever lived there probably raised 10 kids in that house.
